Description

Selectively isolate dermatophyte fungi from the samples such as hair, skin scrapings and nails with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Dermatophyte Medium with Phenol Red. The near neutral pH of the medium is better for the growth of fungi. The often recommended acidic pH used to supress bacterial contaminants is replaced by addition of selective agents. Chloramphenicol and cycloheximide render the medium selective for dermatophytes inhibiting many saprophytic fungi, yeasts and bacterial skin flora¹.

Use Dermatophyte Medium with Phenol Red for the isolation of dermatophyte fungi from samples such as hair, skin scrapings and nails.

• Inhibits the growth of contaminating saprophytic fungi, yeasts and bacterial skin flora¹.
• Chloramphenicol and cycloheximide in the medium improve the isolation of dermatophytes, especially when the inoculum is heavily contaminated^{2, 3}.
• Ready-to-use convenience of prepared media.
